Two streams of water, a deep gorge and history: the Mac Mac Falls are a beautiful waterfall with a gold rush past.

What you can experience here

Right in the heart of the Panorama Route you’ll find the Mac Mac Falls – a double waterfall where two parallel streams of water plunge 65 metres into a rocky gorge. What today appears as an impressive natural spectacle is also a testimony to the gold rush era: the original single drop was split by blasting to create access to gold deposits.

A short, paved path leads from the secure car park to the viewing platform. From there you have an elevated view of the falls – through a high fence that unfortunately restricts the view.

Plan your visit between 8am and 5pm. The entrance fee is low and you’ll usually pay by card. The waterfalls are right on the R532, between Sabie and Graskop.
